I went to court today to find out my original charge of drunk in charge had been changed to full drink driving.
I was found by police underneath my moped - they say straddling it. I was moving the moped from my road to another, safer road using the engine to help me move it as it is a heavy bike. I lost my balance and the bike fell on top of me. The police found me underneath the bike and I blew a 95.
Today I pleded not guilty to drink driving but now I am scared I have made the wrong decision and will face harsher penalties if the court decides that what I was doing constitutes driving. In your opinion what is te best course of action / can I change my plea?
Also I am unclear about the differences in the charge. Is drunk in charge a motoring offence but drink driving a criminal offence?
Any advice you can give me would be great as I'm dealing with this on my own, too embarrassed to confide in friends or family
Thank you
